The Associated Press is reporting [1] that the Marines have now muzzled two people who wish to discuss new evidence of abuse at Guantanamo with the media:
A paralegal and a military lawyer who brought forward allegations about prisoner abuse at the Guantanamo Bay detention center have been ordered not to speak with the press, lawyers and a military spokeswoman said Saturday.
Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, who represents a detainee at the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba, filed a complaint with the Pentagon last week alleging that abuse was ongoing at the prison. He attached a sworn statement from his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny, in which she said several Guantanamo guards bragged in a bar about beating detainees, describing it as common practice.
Prediction: our Torturer-in-Chief will soon blame this most recent embarrassing revelation on the media, the Democrats, gays, the physical compound at Guantanamo and Bill Clinton.
